Chapter 182

"I've seen the county captain!" Lin Mu and Xiaohu bowed slightly when they saw the county captain Xu An coming in. The two of them knew this Xu An and had seen the portrait. He was a key figure, and he was more important than that county magistrate Huang Yun at present.

"I didn't expect that the talents who wiped out the bandits in the Five Mountains would be so young. You two are really young and promising, with great talents." Xu An suppressed the shock in his heart and praised easily.

Xu An looked at the other 20 guards beside him. They were full of energy, with a resolute expression, upright and steady. Judging from his years of military experience, they were brave soldiers.

"He Dangde is so praised by Lord Lieutenant of the County. We are just for the revenge of our ancestors. We have prepared for many years to wipe out the bandits in Dong'an Mountain in one fell swoop. As for the remaining bandits in the four mountains, they just ran away after hearing the news. Luckily, they were chased by us. It's up to the head of the thief."

"The bandits from the Five Mountains have plagued our Dongye County for many years. They have robbed villages and towns many times, harmed the people and seized their wealth, and trampled on the law. They are cruel and inhumane. They are a great harm. They have suppressed bandits many times in the county, but they are not available now. You warriors exterminated them, your feats are so great, and you have done harm to the people, I will report to the county magistrate, and write to the county, for your credit!" Xu An was also sure, since the investigation found that the disappearance of the Shen family and Dong An It is related to the bandits. Now that they are all dead, they can be convicted directly, relieve his worries, and gain a good reputation, but they need to be admitted to the county camp. In this way, when I make another wave of publicity, Dongye County Weiying will be able to gain a good impression in the county. After I do some work behind the scenes, it will be no problem to be promoted to a lower level.

"I don't know what is the last name of a warrior?" Xu An kept thinking in his heart, pretending that he had nothing to do with him, as if he was a dedicated county lieutenant.

"Miangui's surname is Lin, Lin Mu, this is my younger brother, Xiaohu, and these are the heroes of the family guests. The ability to kill the bandits in Dong'an Mountain this time is thanks to Xiangyong's desperate help. Unfortunately, the savings of the family have been exhausted for many years. The lives of the guests and heros are also lost." Lin Mu tried his best to conceal all kinds of situations, and he was also acting.

Lin Mu himself had already prepared himself, and took the path of accumulating military merits in the early stage, which would have a huge effect on training soldiers, accumulating battle experience, publicizing prestige, etc., but Lin Mu was not interested in officials in counties and counties. Those who bury their heads in paperwork, travel up and down, and intrigue are very limited and have no freedom at all. Although they have more salary and know more people, it is also helpful for accumulating contacts, but it is not suitable for me.

"Currently, I am the head of Qingying Pavilion and the inspector of the township. But when I first entered the officialdom, the meritorious deeds of Wushan were made by chance to avenge my family. How dare I bypass the county captain and go directly to the county magistrate? How about accepting the reward with the audacity to accept the promotion? Besides, it is because of the majesty of the county captain who has stood in the hearts of bandits for many years. When we are waiting for the crusade, we benefit from the task issued by the county captain and the command of the county magistrate. How about Receive this merit alone?"

When Xu An heard it, he nodded clearly, with an expression of knowing you. However, he kept observing Lin Mu's expression carefully, trying to study his character through Lin Mu's expression. It's a pity that Lin Mu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, looking humble.

Lin Mu's pavilion chief and other positions were actually bought. Now that he has made such great achievements, he can't bypass the county magistrate and county lieutenant. Even if you take all the credit for yourself, you will only be promoted to a higher level. It is impossible to reach the sky in one step. If you are a high-ranking official such as a county lieutenant, it is better to paralyze them with this merit.

Xu An didn't see anything from the surface, so he stopped guessing, and said bluntly: "What is the exchange for you to give us the credit?" Even if their positions were moved, they would not forcefully take credit for them, because Lin Mu was also an official. Although he was a small official and not popular, he was still an official and a member of the circle.

Talking to smart people is easy, Lin Mu didn't hide it, and said: "For me, this meritorious service can only be upgraded by one level at most, which is not worthwhile, but for adults, it is very useful, but the heroes in my hands have suffered heavy casualties. At the same time, my ambition is to do things for the village and build a family village. However, there are many bandits in the Qilian Mountains. I want to continue to punish rape and evil, and continue to make meritorious service for adults. So I hope to be a free minister 】."

The Sima of the county (county, prefecture) is different from the real history. It is a special position in the Han Dynasty in the mythical world and belongs to the military department. However, there is no salary for his position setting, and no military funds are distributed. The army he leads is all dependent on Sima himself. To put it bluntly, the soldiers' equipment, food, etc. are all borne by Sima himself from the county department. Although it is relatively free, at certain times, even if there is cannon fodder for the blame, it is still free.

Now the overall environment in the Han Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, except for some bandits and cholera. Therefore, there will be basically no aborigines in this county's other department. The current position in Dongye County is still vacant. Even if there are players who know this profession, it is not easy to take it.

When the cholera broke out, this position was a legitimate military position for many white heroes who fought directly in the battle.

At present, this is a thankless position, but for Lin Mu, this position is the most suitable. Soldiers, equipment, food, etc. are no problem for Lin Mu.

After Lin Mu finished his request, he smiled and remained silent.

And Xu An thought about it in his heart: "I have been a county lieutenant for many years, and Dongye County is peaceful and quiet. Except for the recent disaster of the Shen family, the county town is like a calm lake. On the bright side, there is no credit but hard work, and no promotion. It was not too late, but now with the achievements of five mountains, it is enough for me and the county magistrate to be promoted."

"With your merits, you can get this position." Anyway, it's not an important position, so Xu An readily agreed.

"In addition, a fellow official from the same township, Lin Dong, the father of Qingyingting Pavilion, has been in the pavilion for many years. " Lin Mu has already upgraded the township, the pavilion chief is optional, it is better to have a good relationship with Lin Dong.

"Lin Sima is really a kind and humble gentleman. He not only gives credit to us, but also does not forget the love of his fellow countrymen." Lin Mu had already called him Sima before he took office as Sima in another county department. Xu An was in a good mood, At the same time, I also want to recruit Lin Mu: "Lin Sima, to tell you the truth, the contribution of Wushan this time is not only to exterminate Wushan's meritorious service, but also to solve the Shen family's extermination of the clan. I will not hide it from you. Continue to serve as soldiers in the early stage. I can recruit 2,000 soldiers to your subordinates in the county battalion to enrich your subordinates. In addition, you can take up an idle position in the county battalion and name it. When the time comes, I will help you Now, you can have a reason, how?"

As soon as Lin Mu heard Xu An's words, he immediately understood his plan. He just wanted to keep the reputation of suppressing bandits in the county camp.

"Yes, but because I need to revitalize the family, I need to wander around and look for family members who are living outside, so I won't serve in the county. I hope the county captain can understand!" Lin Mu's personal design for himself is to revitalize the family. Down and out children.

"No problem! You don't need to participate in the management of chores like the Sima of the other county department." Xu An is more willing, so that there will be no one with a mysterious origin and a strong force to fight for power under his command. Anyway, what he needs is Fame, when the time comes to promote yourself, you can recommend your own people to enter important positions.

After that, Lin Mu and the county lieutenant met Huang Yun, the county magistrate, and the three of them talked happily.

Lin Mu, who had been the head of the pavilion and township inspector for less than a month after resigning, was officially promoted to Sima of the county department.

Lin Dong was recommended by Lin Mu and was also promoted to the head of the pavilion. As for the county magistrate and county lieutenant, they will handle it themselves. Lin Mu didn't know.

In short, the case of the extermination of the Shen family, which caused heated discussions in Dongye County and the county town, came to a perfect conclusion under the means of Huang Yun and Xu An.

Lin Mu didn't pay attention to these things, anyway, so what if this good reputation is given to them, Lin Mu has his own plan.

After Lin Mu handed in the task, the system prompts kept ringing. Lin Mu was talking to the county magistrate and county lieutenant at the time, but he ignored it. Now Lin Mu looked back, and there were eight prompts:

"—The system prompts, player Lin Mu, you destroy the bandits in Dong'an Mountain, complete the task of the county camp, and get +100 points of merit and +1000 points of prestige."

"..."

"—The system prompts, player Lin Mu, you are resigning from the post of Qingying Pavilion Chief."

"—The system prompts, player Lin Mu, you are resigning from the post of township inspector."

"—The system prompts, player Lin Mu, you have been promoted to the post of Sima of the [County Department Department]."

The first two positions are only useful for exterminating the five mountain thieves. Now that Lin Mu has gained meritorious service, Lin Mu's development is restricted, and this county's other department Sima can be used.

The meritorious service is only 500 points, the other meritorious service should be received by Huang Yun and the others. The prestige is not bad, much stronger than the prestige obtained by establishing the village many months ago. But the prestige is better, there are no other rewards at all, the items rewarded by the system are the big ones, and prestige doesn't matter. What Lin Mu valued was also the items rewarded by the system.

After completing the Wushan mission, it's time to lurk and not make a high profile.

After Lin Mu dealt with all this, he asked Xiaohu and the others to return to the territory secretly, and came to the temporary station of the Night Shadow Department in the north of the city by himself.

It's time to carry out the next stage of the task. The relatives of the soldiers in Qinglong Town must be brought to Yinglong Valley before the Xuzhao Rebellion.

Xu Ying and the others were resting in the residence. After seeing Lin Mu, the two entered a room, had a secret conversation, and left one after another in the evening.

Lin Mu was going to Yingchuan County, but when he rushed to the teleportation formation, the pages of the book in his arms shook. Lin Mu saw that it was a letter from Xu Bao.
